The translators word this verse differently
Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto Him. He pardoneth all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray

God will not forgive that partners be associated with Him; but will forgive anything less than that, to whomever He wills. Anyone who ascribes partners to God has strayed into far error.

Verily, God forgives not associating aught with Him, but He pardons anything short of that, to whomsoever He will; but whoso associates aught with God, he hath erred a wide error

God truly will not forgive the joining other gods with Himself. Other sins He will forgive to whom He will: but he who joineth gods with God, hath erred with far-gone error

Me të vërtetë, Allahu nuk fal që të adhurohet dikush a diçka tjetër krahas Tij, ndërsa gjynahet më të vogla ia fal kujt të dojë. Ai që adhuron dikë a diçka tjetër përveç Allahut, pa dyshim që ka rënë në një humbje të largët (nga e vërteta).
নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ তাঁর সাথে শরীক করাকে ক্ষমা করেন না।(৪৬) তবে এ (শিরক) ছাড়া অন্যান্য গুনাহ তিনি যাকে ইচ্ছা তাকেক্ষমা করেন। আর যে আল্লাহর সাথে শরীক করে, সে তো ভীষণভাবে পথভ্রষ্ট হলো।
Allah, doista, neće oprostiti da se Njemu išta u obožavanju pridružuje, a kome hoće oprostit će sve osim toga; onaj ko Allahu išta u obožavanju pridružuje – doista je daleko zalutao.

ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი არ აპატიებს იმას, რომ მას თანაზიარი მიუწერონ [ვინმე მას გაუთანაბრონ], და არ მიუტევებს ამას; ხოლო პატიობს იმას, რაც ამაზე ნაკლებია, ვისაც ისურვებს თავის მსახურთაგან. და ვინც ალლაჰს თანაზიარს დაუდგენს, იგი ჭეშმარიტად, შორეული ცდომილებით ასცდა სწორ გზას.
Wahrlich, Allah vergibt nicht, dass man Ihm (etwas) beigesellt. Doch was außer diesem ist, vergibt Er, wem Er will. Und wer Allah (etwas) beigesellt, der ist gewiss weit abgeirrt.
Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ δε συγχωρεί το να Του αποδίδονται εταίροι (στη λατρεία)• αλλά συγχωρεί οτιδήποτε άλλο εκτός απ’ αυτό για όποιον θέλει. Όποιος αποδίδει εταίρους στον Αλλάχ (στη λατρεία) έχει παραστρατήσει πολύ μακριά.
निःसंदेह अल्लाह अपने साथ साझी ठहराए जाने को क्षमा[79] नहीं करेगा और इससे कमतर पाप जिसके लिए चाहेगा, क्षमा कर देगा। तथा जो अल्लाह का साझी बनाता है, वह यक़ीनन भटककर बहुत दूर जा पड़ा।
In verità Allāh non perdona che Gli si assimili nulla, e perdona un peccato minore a chi Lui vuole. E chi paragona altri ad Allāh, si è sviato in una remota perdizione.
116. Iš tiesų, Allahas neatleidžia partnerių (garbinime) priskyrimo Jam (nuodėmės), tačiau Jis atleidžia tam, kuriam Jis nori, kitas nuodėmes nei šioji. O kas priskiria partnerius Allahui garbinime, iš tiesų toli nuklydo.

Воистину, Аллах не прощает, когда Ему придают сотоварищей, но прощает то, что помимо этого, кому пожелает. А кто приобщает к Аллаху сотоварищей, тот впал в глубокое заблуждение.
Аллах, заиста, неће да опрости да се Њему ишта у обожавању придружује, а коме хоће опростиће све осим тога; онај ко Аллаху ишта у обожавању придружује - заиста је далеко залутао.
Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu hasamehi kushirikishwa na kitu. Lakini Yeye husamehe yasiyokuwa hayo kwa amtakaye. Na mwenye kumshirikisha Mwenyezi Mungu, basi kwa hakika amepotea upotovu wa mbali.
Gud förlåter inte att något dyrkas vid hans sida, men han förlåter den han vill för mindre än det. Den som dyrkar något vid Guds sida har verkligen gått alldeles vilse.
Allah, kendisine şirk koşulmasını asla bağışlamaz, bunun dışındaki (günahları) dilediği kimse için bağışlar. Kim Allah’a şirk koşarsa büsbütün sapıtmıştır.
اسے اللہ تعالیٰ قطعاً نہ بخشے گا کہ اس کے ساتھ شرک مقرر کیا جائے، ہاں شرک کے علاوه گناه جس کے چاہے معاف فرما دیتا ہے اور اللہ کے ساتھ شریک کرنے واﻻ بہت دور کی گمراہی میں جا پڑا۔
5 cleared translations, newest first, by year of publication, so the modern English comes before the historical ones. That is an ordering by date, not a judgement. Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.
Which translations appear here is set by copyright: they are the ones whose rights could be documented and cleared. The selection is not a judgement that these are the best.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The translators word this verse differently
There is no good in much of their private counsels, except for him who advocates charity, or kindness, or reconciliation between people. Whoever does that, seeking God's approval, We will give him a great compensation.
There is no good in much of their secret conferences save (in) him who enjoineth almsgiving and kindness and peace-making among the people. Whoso doeth that, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall bestow on him a vast reward
There is no good in most of what they talk in private; save in his who bids almsgiving, or kindness, or reconciliation between men; and whoso does this, craving the good pleasure of God, we will give to him a mighty hire
In most of their secret talk is nothing good; but only in his who enjoineth almsgiving, or that which is right, or concord among men. Whoso doth this, out of desire to please God, we will give him at the last a great reward
There is no good in the multitude of their private discourses, unless in the discourse of him who recommendeth alms, or that which is right, or agreement amongst men: Whoever doth this out of a desire to please God, We will surely give him a great reward

Whoever makes a breach with the Messenger, after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell-what a terrible destination!
And whoso opposeth the messenger after the guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and followeth other than the believer's way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and expose him unto hell - a hapless journey's end
But he who severs himself from the prophet after that we have made manifest to him the guidance, and follows other than the way of the believers, we will turn our backs on him as he hath turned his back; and we will make him reach hell, and a bad journey shall it be
But whoso shall sever himself from the prophet after that "the guidance" hath been manifested to him, and shall follow any other path than that of the faithful, we will turn our back on him as he hath turned his back on us, and we will cast him into Hell; - an evil journey thither
But whoso separateth himself from the apostle, after true direction hath been manifested unto him, and followeth any other way, than that of the true believers, we will cause him to obtain that to which he is inclined, and will cast him to be burned in hell; and an unhappy journey shall it be thither

In plain words — none yet for this verse
These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
Derived measure: mean pairwise Jaccard distance over the lowercased word sets of the 5 renderings above — 0.78 on a scale where 0 means identical wording and 1 means no shared words. It is computed, not judged.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
One bar per pair of renderings, longest bar for the pair sharing fewest words. Every pair is shown; none is singled out.
The platform does not say which is right, and does not characterise what the difference means. The renderings are placed together so the difference is visible; reading it is the reader's work.

7 sources stand behind this page. Each is listed once, in the order the page first cites it, with the licence it was cleared under and what was actually read. Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A. Knopf; 1930), p. 460, XXXVII 97 - scan archive.org in.ernet.dli.2015.216140, PDF page 475; banked data/derivation-sources/pickthall-1930-dli-2015.216140-text.pdf (sha256 70e81146c97fa3a590243a82e04e349108546074787e2551a78c616202138870) on Anwar Malik's grant.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is not stated by the redistributor and the printing is unverified. No statement of purpose is recorded for Palmer because none was sourced from his own preface in this pass; nothing is asserted on his behalf.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
